To thread or not to thread? Effective potentials and threading interactions between asymmetric ring polymers

We use computer simulations to study a system of two unlinked ring polymers, whose length and bending stiffness are systematically varied. We derive the effective potentials between the rings, calculate the areas of minimal surfaces of the same, and characterize the threading between them. When the...
